First, the P.S. tells what vim's :s and :%s commands do. So yes, I've done
my homework.
The question is, how much, if any, of either the syntax or the function of
these substitution commands is really needed?
At present, both the :s and :%s commands do exactly the same thing: they
simply execute Leo's search-with-present-options command. (They are
supposed to set the node-only radio button, but they don't yet.)
To ask this question another way, is there anything much to be gained by
using the fairly clumsy vim syntax discussed in the P.S.?
Your comments, please.

P.S. From direct observation of vim, I can report that vim's :s and :%s
commands work as follows. Note that none of the commands affect the dot in
any way::
:%s/foo/bar
:%s/foo/bar/
Replace first occurrence of 'foo' with 'bar' in all lines.
:%s/foo/bar/g
Replace all occurrences of 'foo' with 'bar' in all lines.
:s/foo/bar/
Replace first occurrence of 'foo' (on the current line) with 'bar'
:s/foo/bar/g
Replace all occurrence of 'foo' (on the current line ), with 'bar'.
The trailing slash may be followed by both the 'g' flag, as shown above, or:
/gi case insensitive
/gI case sensitive
